The White House once again turned to pop culture in characterizing their immigration strategy, this time using Spider Man imagery to portray ICE agents as “friendly neighborhood” figures and on the heroic side of deportations.
An Instagram post this week, features Spider-Man‘s hand spinning out a web. That leads to an image of web-covered detainees, and the message, “Criminal aliens will be caught and deported.”
“Your friendly neighborhood ICE agents,” the message from the White House reads.
The post comes as Sony has enjoyed runaway success with the latest in the superhero franchise, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has passed $1 billion at the global box office, per Box Office Mojo.
Last year, the White House featured a meme of Donald Trump as Superman, just as Warner Bros/DC Studios released the James Gunn-directed movie. Gunn had noted in an interview that Superman was an immigrant, triggering some of the right to claim that the superhero had “gone woke.” The film grossed more than $600 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo.
Spokespersons for Sony and Disney did not immediately return requests for comment.

I wouldn’t give those companies any free publicity.
Slightly off-topic, the original theme song from the Spider Man cartoon is a banger.
“Spider-Man” is the theme song of the 1967 cartoon show Spider-Man, composed by Paul Francis Webster and Bob Harris. The original song was recorded at RCA Studios in Toronto (where the cartoon was produced) featuring 12 CBC vocalists (members of the Billy Van Singers, and Laurie Bower Singers groups) who added to the musical backing track supplied by RCA Studios, New York. The singers were paid only for the session and have had no residuals from its use since then.
On the other it sends the Hollywood a-holes into orbit when Trump does this kind of thing.
Gunn had noted in an interview that Superman was an immigrant,
And Gunn is a moron if he believes a cartoon alien is an immigrant.
As i remember the comicbook character Peter Parker was an American. May be the radioactive spider that bit him was an immigrant.
Know it by heart, catchy tune.
Hmmm. The spider was probably hanging out with Bruce Banner and got irradiated.
Gunn is blaming “basement dwelling misogynists” for the Supergirl disaster.
Get Smart Cone of Silence will work.
Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane replaced with Zendaya. That’s America without mass deportation!
The spider became radioactive by looking at Raquel Welch.
Mr President, you’re doing a great job via ICE. Keep up the good work.
Great tune! I always liked the Underdog theme (and lyrics) too.
I don’t understand. Zendaya is American.
The other poster probably thought that Zendaya is a Hispanic woman who was not born in United States...
Zendaya was born in Oakland, CA. Her father is black and her mother is white.

I never thought that Zendaya looked Hispanic...I thought that she was half-black...
